I'd like to ask a question. What about the 're' the start the start of a word. For instance a famous example are the Gracies Brothers. Renner for example is called 'henna' when they talk in their videos? I belive the real is pronounce more like "heyool"? I'm a Spanish student, and thinking about moving onto a new language later in the year. I have a number of Brazillian clients and it would be usefull to me to know how to turn what I read (which is fine) to what I might pronounce (which I have no idea)

Ok, so I'm studying English because it opens many doors. I'm 15 years old and I am from Colombia. I'm interesting in speaking English. I would like someone to help me speak English.
I'm guessing this was something like:
El estudio es importante. Ok, estudio inglés porque se abre muchas puertas. Tengo 15 años y soy de colombia y me interesa hablar en inglés. Quiero un persona por ayudarme ingés.
¿o algo así? lo siento, si mi español no es bueno. Suerte con sus estudios.

English is at its best an amazing amalgam of languages from all over Europe and other countries across the world. We have literally borrowed rules and words from everywhere across a whole lot of history. The danger is that the sounds the double vowels can make change depending on the consonant following it. For example: Loot, Loose and Goose sound different to Foot or Soot and different again to Wool or Fool or for that matter. If in doubt about why something is spelled a particular way, just realize that English is a dumb language at time even to those of us who were born in an English speaking home.0 votedJuly 3, 20140
One of the courses I took early on described the difference this way and I've found it to be really useful. If something is about the essence of something go with ser, it is about its state use estar. That and the tip that estado (State) and estar start with the same letters was also an easy way to remember it. Thanks for the article.

(varies depending on country) ¿Qué me cuentas? or ¿Qué me dices? ¿Qué onda? or ¿Quiúbole? (Mexico and Carribean) Please note that every one of those except the first one (“¿Cómo está?” and “Cómo está usted?”) are informal to some degree or another and imply that you have some level of friendship/familiarity with the person.0 votedMarch 18, 20140
